There is an impressive Equestrian statue of Emperor Joseph II at the small but attractive Josefplatz that can be enjoyed while touring around the Hapsburg Palace in Vienna. Emperor Joseph II reign lasted from 1764 to 1790. The monument is the works of Franz Anton Zauner in 1807 and is of the Emperor on horseback in military costume with his right hand extended forward. The statue is situated upon a base with bas reliefs on each side. The monument is surrounded by fence with four small corner pillars each with bronze seal. In the end, the Equestrian statue of Emperor Joseph II is one of a handful of equestrian monuments you can find and view in this area of Vienna. Have a look and enjoy before continuing onward with other intended sightseeing.

This smaller plaza has an impressive statue of the emperor Joseph II (1741-1790) on horseback who was the son of Marie Theresa. He succeeded his father Francis I as the Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790 (his mother was not allowed to hold this title on her own) and succeeded Marie Theresa as the ruler of the Hapsburg lands from 1780 to 1790.

Im kaiserlichen Wien finden sich viele Statuen bekannter Persönlichkeiten. Kaiser Joseph II war der erste Habsburger, dem ein öffentliches Denkmal gesetzt wurde. Das Reiterstandbild zeigt den Habsburger als römischen Kaiser, er sitzt nur auf einer Decke am Pferd, ohne Sattel und ohne Steigbühel. Das erregte seinerzeit die Gemüter: "Jetzt wurde so viel Geld ausgegeben und der Kaiser muss auf einer nackerten Decke sitzen und Steigbühel hat er auch keine" nörgelte die Wiener Bevölkerung. Das Interesse der Bevölkerung für dieses Denkmal bestand auch darin, weil es sich um den ersten Bronzeguss dieser Art in Wien handelte. Der Guss wurde von der k.u.k. Erz- und Kanonengießerei auf der Wieden durchgeführt. Der Künstler, der dieses Denkmal schuf, war der Tiroler Künstler Franz Anton Zauner (1746-1822).

هل تعلم أن هذا النصب تم تصميمه ليُحاكي تمثالاً رومانياً قديماً؟ يُشبه هذا النصب التذكاري الشهير، الذي يُظهر الإمبراطور يوزف الثاني على ظهر حصانه، تمثال الإمبراطور الروماني ماركوس أوريليوس. هذا التصميم لم يكن مصادفة، بل كان اختياراً متعمداً من قِبل النحات فرانز أنطون زاونر لإضفاء هيبة ملكية على الإمبراطور، ولربطه بإرث الإمبراطورية الرومانية المقدسة، مما يُبرز الفخامة والرقي في الفن النمساوي. نصب الإمبراطور يوزف الثاني (Emperor Joseph II Monument): يقع هذا النصب البرونزي في ساحة يوزفس (Josefsplatz)، وهي واحدة من أجمل الساحات في فيينا، وتُعد جزءاً من مجمع قصر هوفبورغ الإمبراطوري. يُكرم النصب الإمبراطور يوزف الثاني، الذي عُرف بسياساته المستنيرة وإصلاحاته الجذرية التي سعت لتحديث الإمبراطورية في القرن الثامن عشر. ما يميزه: تمثال فروسية أيقوني: يظهر النصب الإمبراطور يوزف الثاني في زي قائد روماني قديم، مما يُبرز دوره كقائد حكيم ومصلح. إضاءة تاريخية: يتزين قاعدة النصب بنقوش بارزة تروي أهم إنجازات الإمبراطور، مثل تشجيعه للتجارة والزراعة، مما يجعل النصب بمثابة درس تاريخي مصغر. موقع استراتيجي: يقع النصب في قلب ساحة يوزفس، محاطاً بمباني تاريخية فخمة مثل المكتبة الوطنية النمساوية وقصر بالافيتشيني، مما يُشكل مشهداً معمارياً متكاملاً. نصيحة للزوار: الوصول بالمواصلات العامة: يسهل الوصول إلى الساحة عبر المترو بالنزول في محطة Herrengasse، أو بالترام والحافلات التي تخدم وسط المدينة. زيارة المعالم المحيطة: نظراً لموقعه المركزي، يُمكن دمج زيارة النصب مع زيارة المكتبة الوطنية النمساوية، وكاتدرائية أوغسطينر (Augustinerkirche)، مما يُثري تجربة الزائر. إذا أعجبتك هذه المراجعة ، يرجى إضافة...
